CIKARANG – A talk show by Korindo Foundation, “Unlock Your Potential – Guide to the Working World”, was held Thursday (2/20) at Hanuri Education Centre’s training hub. The goal is to help high school graduates prepare everything necessary prior to entering the professional realm. Intan Tri Wulandari and Setiyono from Korindo Group’s Learning and Innovation Center served as speakers.
This is the third collaboration made under Korindo Foundation’s Corporate Social Contribution program. Since 2024, the Foundation has been giving 30 high school graduates “mentoring and development funding”. This funding enables the young adults to be trained for six months at Hanuri Education Centre before they can work, especially at foreign firms.
Unlike the previous event (a motivational seminar), this talk show sought to encourage discussion and experience exchange among students and improve their public speaking confidence.
“This time, we adopted the talk show format so our audience may enjoy the event better and digest things more easily. We’d also like to invite everyone [here] to boldly say their opinion because good communication is necessary in the working world,” Setiyono told the PR team.
Topics featured an introduction to the workforce, job ethics, challenges and adaptation tips, as well as career development strategies. The event also touched on the stigma of Gen Zs at work.
Things took an interesting turn when panelists reached the subject of job interviews. While this stage is the scariest for some people, speakers said it’s actually a chance for both recruiters and prospective candidates to learn about each other and discuss compatibility before deciding to work together.

In addition to sharing job interview experiences, select students were also granted the opportunity to do trial interviews and listen to feedback from fellow audience members. Active participants received exclusive merchandise from the Foundation.
“It’s a highly inspiring, impactful workshop [talk show]. Speakers know what they’re saying, and their interactive delivery makes every topic easy to understand. [Also], this event opened my eyes that every individual has incredible potential, which they must hone to succeed. I hope there’ll be similar events with relevant and interesting topics to support [our] self-development. [All in all,] I wish the event committee and all our friends here continued success!” said Naifa Mahlisa Mutia from the Administration program.
A symbolic handover of the funding ended the event. This ceremony was performed by Setiyono, Korindo Foundation’s General Manager, with Hanuri Education Centre’s governing board member Eli Endarwati. Through education-oriented initiatives, Korindo Foundation is committed to improving education quality for a better Indonesia. (PR)
